Chen Zhiyan remained silent, stammering. No matter what his wife said, she was always right; he couldn't argue with her!
Wei Wangqing was delighted after stealing the fragrance.
After the two returned to the mansion, they summoned the servants and made sure they recognized their new master.
Although Wei Wangqing knew that Chen Zhiyan had to handle this matter of establishing authority himself, he still couldn't help but support him, saying, "From now on, there will only be one male master in this mansion. Everyone should be more discerning and not offend the master."
The people in the manor were stunned. What did His Highness mean by this? There was only one male master? Could it be what they were thinking?
But he also felt even greater reverence for his lord, and hurriedly bowed his head, saying, "I dare not."
Chen Zhiyan was pleased by the meaning behind her words and her defense of him, and smiled at Wei Wangqing.
There is no one better than his wife!
"Then I'll go back to my room first. You can take care of it without worry. If any of them misbehave, just deal with them."
"Okay, thank you, my wife. You go ahead, I'll come back to find you in a bit."
Listening to this conversation, who would dare to disobey? The Princess's residence is quite well-treated, and the master is easy to serve. Originally, there was only one master in the residence, and now there is only one more. It is much quieter than the large families with three husbands and four servants in the residences of those officials.
Only a fool would want to leave. Besides, I work in this household and my family is taken care of. Who would have any ill intentions?
It's not uncommon for people to dream of marrying into wealth and status, but no one would be foolish enough to openly express it. They might think to themselves, but who would know that the Sixth Princess never gets close to them? Even if they wanted to sleep with her, they wouldn't have the chance.
Previously, the Sixth Princess only had her wet nurse and Green Branch by her side. But since Miss Li Nuo arrived, the only person by His Highness's side has been Li Nuo. They don't even have a chance to get close to her.
Besides, His Highness has already married the Lord, and now he's saying such things. All his thoughts have faded away. He might as well focus on doing his job properly. The little rewards the Lord usually gives them are enough to live on for the rest of their lives.
After Wei Wangqing left, Chen Zhiyan sat in the main seat and said calmly, "You all heard what His Highness said just now. Don't think that just because I have just entered the manor you can try to deceive me, otherwise I will not let you off easily. Of course, those who do well will naturally be rewarded."
"I am new here, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
"Sesame."
After saying this, Sesame distributed some loose silver to everyone present.
The servants were naturally grateful.
Chen Zhiyan didn't care much about these people. Just as his wife said, they were just servants. Why bother with them? If they weren't to his liking, he could just replace them.
However, three of them are different: the butler, the nanny, and Green Branch.
Of course, Li Nuo couldn't be under his jurisdiction; he only managed the inner quarters.
So the three of them were left behind.
Chen Zhiyan first said to the nanny, "Nanny, please feel free to tell me any requests you may have in the future, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
He naturally respected the wet nurse who had always been with his wife.
The wet nurse was also very pleased; His Highness had grown up and finally gotten married.
Moreover, her husband seems quite nice, but it would be even better if they could have a child sooner.
"Your Majesty need not do this. This old servant has no demands. I am content as long as Your Highness is happy."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyan felt even more respect for his wet nurse. After all, someone who could follow the penniless sixth princess to the royal villa must not be someone who coveted power. In the future, the two of them would simply take care of their wet nurse in her old age and see her off in her final days.
Then he looked at the butler.
The steward, quite perceptively, said, "My lord, all the servants in the manor have been tidied up. Shall we hand them over now?"
The butler was indeed very perceptive. "No rush, let's talk about it after I return to my parents' home."
He still wanted to spend more time with his wife these past two days.
As for the green branches.
He is indeed an honest and upright man, with no improper thoughts. He feels at ease letting him continue to stay by his wife's side.
After finishing these matters, Chen Zhiyan went back to his room.
But he saw his wife drawing something with a brush, so engrossed that she didn't even notice him entering the room.
Chen Zhiyan quietly walked over, wanting to see what she was drawing.
But to my surprise, what I saw was myself from yesterday's wedding, dressed in a formal gown, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.
Chen Zhiyan immediately felt embarrassed. How could his wife draw him?
Wei Wangqing finally noticed Chen Zhiyan's presence. After finishing the last stroke, he smiled at Chen Zhiyan and said, "Zhiyan, do you think my drawing is good?"
Chen Zhiyan was unsure whether to say it looked good or not; saying it looked good might seem like self-praise.
Wei Wangqing laughed at his conflicted look. "Ayan, you don't need to think so much in front of me. Just say whatever you want, and I won't blame you."
Chen Zhiyan stopped worrying about it and said, "It looks good."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's just as beautiful as the painting Your Highness gave me last time."
He brought that box with him, and it'll be placed in the dowry; we'll have to find a place to hide it later.
I can't let my wife see this, it would be too embarrassing.
"Then I'll give you this one too," Wei Wangqing readily agreed.
"Thank you, my wife." Chen Zhiyan was very happy. He was happy no matter what his wife gave him.
Wei Wangqing frowned. She called him Ayan, but he called her his wife. There was no intimacy between them.
"Don't call me 'wife' anymore."
Chen Zhiyan was startled. Luckily, he could hear her thoughts. Otherwise, upon hearing those words, he might have thought she didn't want him anymore.
"Then what should I call you?" Chen Zhiyan asked curiously, and calling her "wife" would show that she was his!
“I am not your master, I am just your wife. Call me Aqing, it sounds like a perfect match for Ayan.”
Chen Zhiyan was deeply moved. She was truly different from others. While others would do anything to turn men into their possessions, she took the initiative to say that she did not want to be his master, but only wanted to be his wife.
She even made him call her Aqing. How could she be so kind?
He found that she was giving him more and more surprises, making him completely inseparable from her.
He didn't want to leave; he was willing to linger in this moment forever.
"Ah Qing."
“Yes, Ayan,” Wei Wangqing said with a smile.
The two spent the last three days in blissful intimacy, inseparable.
Therefore, I felt that time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Chen Zhiyan to return to her parents' home.
On this day, everyone in the Chen family got up early, eagerly waiting for the young master and the sixth princess to return to the mansion.
Meanwhile, Wei Wangqing ordered people to prepare the return gifts and immediately set off.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a horse-drawn carriage on the road. Fortunately, it was only a light bump and there was no damage.
But the person inside the carriage was someone Wei Wangqing hadn't expected.
"Second brother," Chen Zhiyan said calmly.
"Elder brother, Sixth Princess," Chen Zhishao also bowed.
Wang Fengyue, standing to the side, seemed somewhat embarrassed.
"Where are you going?" Wei Wangqing asked.
"Oh, I'm going home with my younger brother Shao to see our father."
Wei Wangqing frowned. Accompany a little maid home? On the day they return to their parents' home.
Chen Zhiyan also glanced at his second brother subtly, wondering what he was planning to do.
